Luke has been counting down the days to his birthday every day in March. He loves looking at the calendar and calculating the days until.... something fun happens. It has been so fun to see him learn this last year. There are so many important things to learn when you are four. He has learned how to read and write. He has become much less afraid of new situations or loud surroundings. He loves to help and talks to me about everything. He postulates all sorts of "good ideas" including when we can take our next vacation and where. Or he projects what he will be doing when he is 23. Which is, of course, working on the 96th floor of a tall building. He enjoys setting the timer for his quiet time where he will hide in a fort or read his phone books. He has been teaching Eva how to talk and he has been counting how many successes she has had with potty training. He has added upon his love for running by loving to run and then slide on his four wheeled scooter. He was doing "wind sprints" in this fashion for 1 hour while in the University Lake School gym. I still love when he holds my hand and tells me that he loves me. He is getting harder to hold, but I love that too. I am enjoying my last year without him in full day school.
Below are some pictures from the three different Birthday parties for Luke.

"Happy Birthday to Luke!" is what Eva said while running around holding the balloons.

Luke got a infrared thermometer in the form of a hand-held gun. He can take the temperature of everything by pointing it at an object and pressing a button. It then gives him a digital readout. He loves taking it with him everywhere. He measures everything from lights to ice cream (the light below was "208 degrees hot" and ice cream is "only 4 degrees").
